SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Save current progress to a file before /clear so a fresh session can continue where you left off. Use when context is getting full mid-task.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a persistent progress file at docs/plans/PROGRESS-<task-id>.md (mkdir -p docs/plans) that documents the session state.
  • Record the Beads task, branch, plan path, and current step, plus a list of modified files and the intended next steps.
  • Use case: after a long brainstorming or coding session, /clear to free memory, then automatically resume from the saved PROGRESS file.

Quick Start

Run the /clear command in your current session to save progress and begin a new session that reads the saved PROGRESS file from docs/plans/PROGRESS-<task-id>.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my session progress before clearing context?▼

You save session progress by creating a persistent progress file at docs/plans/PROGRESS-<task-id>.md that documents the current session state, including modified files and intended next steps, before clearing context.

What is session management for resuming coding tasks?▼

Session management for resuming tasks involves saving progress to a dedicated file before clearing context. This preserves task metadata and modified files, allowing a fresh session to automatically resume where the previous one left off.

How do I resume a task after context gets full mid-session?▼

To resume a task after context gets full, run the /clear command to save your progress and begin a new session. The new session reads the saved PROGRESS file from docs/plans/PROGRESS-<task-id>.md to continue.

Do I need to manually create the docs/plans directory to save progress?▼

No, you do not need to manually create the docs/plans directory. The Skill automatically runs mkdir -p docs/plans to ensure the directory exists before writing the PROGRESS-<task-id>.md file.

What is the best way to preserve state during long brainstorming or coding sessions?▼

The best way to preserve state during long sessions is to save progress to a dedicated markdown file. This approach captures the task, branch, plan path, current step, and modified files for seamless continuation.

What limitations exist when saving progress to a markdown file?▼

A limitation of saving progress to a markdown file is that it records task metadata, intent, and modified files, but it does not automatically restore the full execution environment or previous command history upon resuming the session.
